Author name and dates: Thomas Henshaw (1618-1700)
BKG Bio-tweet: alchemist; Evelyn friend; European travels; assisted Ashmole; edited Skinner’s Etymologicon; SJ: “booby” etymol. ridiculous
Categories (list of works cited – preliminary) [BKG Note: four Henshaw cites in etymologies in the 1755 Dict., Vol. 1, two Henshaw cites in 1755 Dict, vol. 2. No additional Henshaw cites were identified as added in the 1773 Dict. In Johnson the Philologist, 1988, Diasuke Nagashima suggests (pp.166-169) that the citations of Henshaw are through the Skinner title below and that, for some headwords, the views of Minsheu, Casaubon, Somner, and Verstegan were adduced and discussed via their entries in Skinner rather than in source volumes. The Oxford DNB does not mention any other Thomas Henshaw publications related to linguistics or etymology.]
